ICE East Midland's various committees and panels bring together like-minded people and give members the opportunity to increase their knowledge, get advice, and raise the profile and standard of civil engineering.
ICE's work in the East Midlands is carried out by the regional committee. It's made up of branch members and interest groups and is supported by the Regional Support Team. Committee members are volunteers and come from a range of backgrounds within the civil engineering profession.
